THE GUN CLUB ORGANIZED.

The gun club at the Springs has per-
fected it's organization unaer the name
of the "Jarauld County Gun Club, and
at meeting on last Wednesday even
ing, those members present signed the
constitution and paid their member
ship fee. The officers for the ensuing
year are: A. M. Matthias, president, A.
Roth, vice-president, B. B. Blosser, Sec,
and r. w. Probert, treasurer. A new
trap and glass balls have been ordered,
and it is hoped to have them on hand
for a shoot by next Wednesday evening.
The sentiment of the members of the
club in regard to the game law is, that
as far as possible it should be enforced.
The reports coming in that for same
weeks past the slaughter of chickens
has been almost wholesale, has created
a feeling that it will be necessary to
make an example of few, to teach
them that the law, intended for the
common good, cannot be violated with
IMMUNITY. The sentiment prevailed
that if a farmer chose to shoot a chick
en- or two, occasionally, on his own land,
he should not be molested, but that no
outsider need apply. The new game
law is very strict, and 1t may be well
for those who are making so light Of it,
to inquire into it's workings. They will
find that. to shoot one chicken will cost
them the snug little sum Of $500 and
costs, with $40 for each additional
chicken shot, discount, you see). From
this there is no appeal. They can pay
the fine or 60 to jail. How many of our
citizens would be able to stand such ex-
pensive sport? a
There will probably be two regular
shoots held by the club, each week, at a
time to be decided by the executive
committee.
